Not sure if this is a problem, or normal expected behavior, but for new users, this may be something to be aware of if you have specific sources.

When using my KA17 in Desktop mode (using POWER IN connector with 5v) then connecting to a source (TempoTec V3). If at any point thereafter, the USB connection from KA17 to source is disrupted , or removed/reinserted without disconnecting the 5v side (POWER IN), the audio is played at much lower level, even though the KA17 still shows "D" mode on the screen.

Only by removing both USB connectors (Source and POWER IN), then re-starting the cycle with POWER IN 5v , then the source, does the volume level come back to expected.

The only reason i`m mentioning this is that if you are using headphones and have a source like mine, and the USB is disrupted, you will be inclined to turn up the volume considerably to compensate. If at some later point you do restart the cycle by repowering POWER IN , then the source, the volume is going to jump quite a bit..

It doesn`t happen on my Iphone14 at all, i can disconnect or disrupt the USB and it is always starts again with the same volume.
On my Samsung S9 android phone, if i disrupt or disconnects, it won`t play at all until i have disconnected both POWER IN and Source USB connections, and start with POWER IN again.

Dear friend,

Hi, I failed to reproduce this phenomenon via my Xiaomi 12 as well. We have reported to the engineer for checking first.

Best regards

Dear friend,

Hi, yes.

Magclip:

The battery looks great!

I don’t own an iPhone… will the magclip work on a Samsung phone?

If it just a metal ring then probably not but if the ring contains magnets then you could probably get a magsafe ring sticker for your Samsung. I hope they make it with magnets in the clip

Sure there are a magesafe ring stick inside our Magclip , plus a metal ring in case you are using a case for your iphone. for Andriod phone, you may need a case with magenets , but maybe you can use it directly , it depended on the case you used.

Дорогой друг,

Привет да.

Ring with rubber bands? Are you seriously? Fix the DAC on your smartphone with rubber bands, I think nowadays there are a lot of other more convenient options.

@FiiO , And the drivers are only for Windows, so setting up custom presets on a Mac OS and loading them onto the device will not work, right?
